TPMS Magnet Program
April 23 2023 Update
Hello Magnet Families! Yikes! It has been almost a month since I posted an update. I'll try to keep up on these, but things have been busy since Spring Break. Our students have been busy this past month. Ms Davis' FACS team won "Best in Show" in the "Real Foods for Real Kids" contest in Virginia, the 7th graders went on the Finance Park Trip, we had two open houses for new Magnet families, and the PTSA held a very successful Flea Market. Of course, there was plenty of learning too, and you can see a picture of a 7th grader dissecting a chicken wing to learn about muscles and tendons. This week, we have our production of Newsies, and you should definitely come and buy a ticket. We are also beginning to plan our "WE SHINE" event in June, and, of course, state testing begins in May. Check it all out in the table below!
Spring After-School Drawing and Watercolor ClassesAt the Takoma Park Community Center on Maple Ave from 3:30 - 5:30 PM, begin on May 2, and May 4, 2023. These six week classes are held on Tuesdays (6 spaces available), and Thursdays (9 spaces),
Drawing and Watercolor is offered by Katie Dell Kaufman, who has run after-school art programming for middle school students in Takoma Park since 2008, and art related summer camps since 2010 (looking for summer camp? There are still 3 spaces in the Still Life Interior Camp July 10 - 14). Before that she taught in the Young People's Program at the Corcoran School of Art. The class is $180 for Takoma Park Residents (and $200 for non residents).
